Some beautiful shots of a beautiful classic.

I remember going to the avaiation heritage show awhile back and seeing a F4 in the very begining stages of restoration. I wish I could remember who was doing it or had the pictures, but those are back home.

If I remember correctly, Robin Olds was flying his F4 there as well...excellent man...while Yeager had a huge crowd around him (I got to shake his hand and get a picture) Olds had nobody, and was talking to my dad and I for at least an hour, telling us about his flights in Nam', his acft, and even allowed me to get up in his Sabre and take a picture of him with me on the side...excellent memories.
